The Air Force Career Intermission Program allows a limited number of enlisted and officer Airmen to temporarily separate from their commitment to the U.S. Air Force for up to three years. The application window opened July 1 for eligible Airmen. Applications must reach the Air Force Personnel Center no later than Aug. 31. Although the program offers a temporary release from duty, Airmen are expected to repay double the time taken for the sabbatical. For more information, contact your local force support squadron or visit the myPers website. Select the appropriate component and corps from the drop down menu and enter "Career Intermission Program" in the search window.
